Photographer's Note

A late afternoon view of Monument Valley. The Totem Pole is on the far right, next to Yei Bi Chei with the Hunts Mesa in the background. The Totem Pole is approx. 137m (450ft) high and 12m (40ft) wide.

You won't get me complaining it's over-saturated. I've seen with my own eyes the vivid colours any time of day, but even more so in setting or rising sunlight. You make me yearn to be back there. I made a slideshow set to a Fistful of Dollars.
Excellent shot

Hello Nikki
An amazingly contrasty landscape shot of this beautiful place. The sky is wonderful especially with the added feature of the black clouds in the top corner giving an overall balance. The colours are simply stunning, it must have been an experience to actually have been there and to feel the atmosphere.

hi Nikki,
clasic view, and therefore timeless, I can look at the photos of this place again and again, and never get bored. love the fiery light, and how the dark cloud is right atop the Totem pole, like an inverted exclamation mark. great shot.

Hi Nikki,
Wow! One of the most scenic landscape in the world- a pleasure and a challenge for every photographer. Truly I wish I was there! An amazing light and beautiful colours. I'm very impressed. Well done!
Thanks for sharing,

Salut Nikki, you really do know your desert shots. This is beautifully sharp, saturated and exposed. The light and extreme shade in the FG would have been difficult but you've overcome that effortlessly. The image looks almost 3D, it's wonderful, congratulations and best regards, Lisa

there are literally thousands of Monument Valley photos, but this one I like because of its compo - if the large space given to sky was of another colour, I would think it´s a photo of some other planet.
